Paradise

Once upon a time
a lonely boy went fishin' (fishin')
Heard about a little mermaid
cast away (cast away)
Saw a little bitty fin
and started swimming (swimming)
She disappeared with
the sunlight once again (once again)

He prayed unto his father
As his lungs filled up with water

Oh won't you take me
to your paradise? (I wanna go)
Can I come play
with you under the tide? (I wanna go)
I want to swim inside
your ocean eyes (I wanna go)
Oh won't you take me
to your paradise? (I wanna go)

When he woke up
on the dry-land he saw visions (visions)
Of the life with
the mermaid cast away
(what a life, what a life it would be)
Couldn't tell if it was love
or just impatience (patience)
Headed back where the black sun hits
the waves (hits the waves)

And there she was in color
And with all his strength he called her

Oh won't you take me to your paradise?
(I wanna go)
Can I come play with you under the tide?
(I wanna go)
I want to swim inside your ocean eyes
(I wanna go)
Oh won't you take me to your paradise?

Please don't drift away
Please don't drift away
Please don't drift away
Please don't drift away
Please don't drift away
Please don't drift away

Oh won't you take me to your paradise?
(I wanna go)
Can I come play with you under the tide?
(I wanna go)
I want to swim inside your ocean eyes
(I wanna go)
Oh won't you take me to your paradise?

Oh won't you take me to your paradise?
(I wanna go)
I've got to be with you, I don't know why
(I wanna go)
Oh won't you take me to your paradise?
(I wanna go)
I've got to be with you, I've got to be with you
(I wanna go, I wanna go)
Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
(I wanna go)
Paradise, paradise, paradise...
